Break Your Brain Shell

When we perceive our boundaries as a shell, as our brain develops, we start to outgrow this shell. Our continuously evolving and changing thoughts eventually turn into chaos. Like a cluttered house that trips us up at every step or eliminates comfort, it creates an environment for us. If you are someone leading a normal life, you tend to develop obsessions more than troubles like these. However, those who cannot fit into their shell have one and only obsession: breaking that shell.

For a constantly investigating, reading, and questioning mind, this must be the greatest torment, because just when everything seems to be fine, a tiny crackling sound emerges from the mind. During the process of the shell's reconstruction, they will be defenseless, and the paranoia that comes with it must get more excruciating each time. The bigger you are, the more defenseless you are, and the more fragile. We can illustrate this as follows: imagine having a large glass bell jar; even if it falls to the ground, it might shatter, but if you were to throw a glass marble at the wall, it would only result in minor scratches at most.

Development is crucial, but the fear of that breaking or disappearing due to unplanned development can poison all progress. It leads to a decrease in efficiency, and everything beautiful can be ruined by an unhealthy mind. Maintaining mental health is, in fact, one of the most important concerns for us, who are living beings inside the shell.

As humans, we have always pursued the unknown, and it would be accurate to say that this pursuit is not confined to faith or science. Questioning the Creator and questioning the universe are, from my perspective, the same act. However, while one helps in preserving the mental health of society, the other poisons it day by day. In societies that have priorities, we can see that these kinds of problems are nearly non-existent, and even if they exist, there are treatments available. Hopefully, as humanity, we will eventually become a whole and free ourselves from this ailment to build a bright future.
